Depth on demand

Adaptive follow-up catches nuance, gaps and red flags a fixed form never will.

Decision-grade output

Every conversation returns as a structured brief: findings, recommendation, next step.

Scale the unscalable

The depth of a 1:1 interview at the volume and cost of a form.

Right tool, right moment

When a form is enough —
and when it isn't.

Forms work fine for simple things. When the stakes are real, you need more.

A form is fine for

  • A newsletter signup
  • A simple RSVP
  • A quick rating or NPS score

You need DecisionSensei when

  • The answer informs a real decision
  • The nuance and "why" matter
  • Good answers require follow-up
  • You'll compare many responses fairly
  • A vague reply is expensive
See the difference

Same person.
Completely different insight.

A candidate fills out your form. You get a wall of terse answers. Or you get a DecisionSensei brief — structured, scannable, and ready to act on.

  • Led a 3-person team through a cross-functional launch with Sales and Product
  • Salary range $85k–$100k — aligns with open band
Red Flags
  • Two roles in under 18 months — worth probing directly

Suggested Next Step

Schedule a 45-min panel with Head of Sales and VP Product. Share this brief beforehand.

Use cases

Built for anyone who needs
better answers.

If you need to interview people and turn conversations into structured output, this is for you.

Here are some of the use cases we see most:

Recruiting pre-screen

Decide who enters the live interview loop. Pre-screen every applicant with a structured, consistent conversation — so your panel time goes to candidates you've already assessed.

Client & project onboarding

Decide scope and fit before the first billable hour. Get a complete project brief and red-flag inventory before your kickoff call.

Investor & founder intake

Decide whether to advance a deal with full context. Screen founders or qualify investors before committing live meeting time.

Expert & research vetting

Decide which voices belong in your study. Qualify panelists or subject-matter experts at scale before scheduling a single call.

Customer discovery & win/loss

Decide what to build — and understand why deals close or don't. Run structured conversations that feed directly into your roadmap and pipeline.

Coaching & advisory intake

Decide where to focus before the engagement starts. Arrive at session one already knowing your client's goals, blockers, and priorities.

Lead qualification

Decide who's ready for your sales team. Qualify through intelligent conversation, not static forms, before anyone picks up the phone.

Feedback collection

Decide what to fix and what to double down on. Replace rating scales with real conversations that surface signal — not just a 1–5 star.

in your world.

Three real scenarios — the questions DecisionSensei asks, and an excerpt of the brief it returns.

Recruiting

Engineering pre-screen for a mid-level backend role

Your job post attracted 80 applicants. Before you schedule live interviews, DecisionSensei runs a structured pre-screen — so your loop only includes candidates you've already assessed.

Questions DecisionSensei asks
1

Walk me through your most recent backend project — what problem were you solving, and what were the key architectural decisions you made?

2

Tell me about a time you had to debug a production issue under pressure. How did you approach it, and what was the outcome?

3

What's your approach to writing code that other engineers will maintain? Give me a concrete example from your work.

4

Where do you feel you're still growing as an engineer, and how are you actively working on it?

Assessment brief
Strong Technical Foundation Advance to Loop
Key Findings

Clear systems thinking and production-grade experience with distributed queues and async APIs. Answers were structured and included concrete trade-offs — strong signal for mid-level scope.


Watch

Deflected twice on "what would you do differently." Probe for growth mindset in live loop.


Recommendation

Advance to live loop. Assign a systems design question and a code-review exercise to probe collaborative habits.

Client Onboarding

New client intake for a brand & growth agency

A SaaS founder books a discovery call. Before you spend 45 minutes on video, DecisionSensei has already conducted the intake — you arrive knowing exactly what they need and where the gaps are.

Questions DecisionSensei asks
1

Describe the product and the core problem it solves — not the features, but the pain the customer feels before they find you.

2

Who is your best current customer? Walk me through how they found you, why they stayed, and what they'd lose if you disappeared tomorrow.

3

What have you already tried on the marketing side, and what did you learn from it?

4

Where do you need to be in 12 months, and what's blocking you from getting there without external help?

Assessment brief
Clear ICP Good Fit Budget TBC
Key Findings

Strong product clarity and a handful of paying customers with real retention. Marketing to date is founder-led and unstructured — LinkedIn posts and a couple of cold outbound experiments, no repeatable motion.


Watch

Positioning is fuzzy — selling "simplicity" but so are all competitors. Mentioned "tight runway" twice without specifics.


Recommendation

Good engagement candidate. Open with a positioning workshop before any channel work. Clarify budget scope in the first call.

Investor Intake

Seed-stage founder screening ahead of a partner intro

You receive 30 inbound pitch requests a month. DecisionSensei pre-screens each founder so the analyst team only advances the ones worth a partner call.

Questions DecisionSensei asks
1

What does the business look like today — revenue, customers, retention? Give me the real numbers, even if they're early.

2

Who do customers use instead of you, and why do they choose you over that option?

3

What does the path to $1M ARR look like, and what's the single biggest risk to getting there?

4

Why are you the right person to build this — and what's the hardest thing you've had to figure out so far?

Assessment brief
Pre-Revenue Strong Founder Signal
Key Findings

$0 revenue, 4 design partners, 2 in active pilots. Founder has 7 years of domain experience in HR tech and a clear opinion on why incumbents are failing their customers.


Watch

Competitive analysis is thin — named two incumbents but couldn't articulate differentiated retention drivers. Go-to-market motion is underdeveloped.


Recommendation

Worth a 30-minute partner call. Prepare questions on GTM motion and customer discovery depth. Request pilot customer references before advancing further.

Pricing

Pay only for what you run.

No seats. No subscriptions. On-demand, usage-based — you pay for the interviews you run, nothing else.

FAQ

Common questions.

What people ask before they start.

A form is static — every respondent gets the same questions regardless of what they say. A chatbot is open-ended and unstructured. DecisionSensei does both: it adapts its follow-up questions based on each answer, then produces a structured assessment brief you can act on. The output isn't a transcript — it's a scored, categorised brief ready for a decision.
Accuracy comes from question design, not from the model guessing. You define what matters; DecisionSensei probes for it and surfaces evidence. The brief reflects what the respondent actually said — it doesn't infer or hallucinate beyond the conversation. Teams that calibrate their question sets against real outcomes consistently find the briefs align with their own expert judgement.
Yes. Conversation data is scoped to your account and never used to train models or shared with third parties. You control retention and export. For specific compliance requirements — GDPR, SOC 2, data residency — contact us and we'll walk through the details.
Anywhere that accepts a script tag or an iframe — your website, job board, CRM, intranet, Notion page, or custom app. One line of code. No SDK, no integration work required.
On-demand and pay-per-use — no seat licences, no monthly commitment. You pay for the interviews you run, nothing else. Contact us for pricing and we'll send you a rate card.
Interviews can be configured in any language the underlying model supports — which covers all major European, Asian, and Middle Eastern languages. Respondents can answer in a different language from the questions and the brief will still be coherent. If you have a specific language requirement, get in touch.
